WHY can't I create a PRIVATE league??

[obscureguy]

I'm no longer getting the "You must wait 14 days, etc." message. I am now getting "Your player rating must be 3 or higher to start a league". This is getting out of hand now. I am NOT a competitive online gamer and never will be in this game thanks to the yearly lag/unplayability. All I want to do is create a PRIVATE league with 3-4 of my real friends with the rest of the league filled with the AI. It is just stunning to me that I have owned this game for 2 weeks as of today and am being locked out of the NUMBER ONE feature I was looking forward to in this game. How many pointless hoops do the developers want me to jump through before I can actually play one of the advertised features in their game?? I hate to be "that guy" but I am legitimately beginning to feel cheated. I understand the developers may want to make sure commissioners are reputable and will take it seriously, but I am not trying to run a public league here...just a small private one for FUN with friends...that I DO plan on maintaining and staying active in FYI.

Mods if this is out of place I sincerely apologize but I am literally at my wit's end right now...I really would love someone on the development side to explain what is going on to me...peace.

Where are we rated as a player and who does this rating?

I honestly don't know and can only assume it is through random online play which I have NO interest in whatsoever. Nor should anyone be forced to play online just to get access to a mode that was advertised. I waited the ridiculous 2 week restriction period and all I want to do is play a private league with friends. I really don't think this is that unreasonable...

Oh great. Another roadblock to setting up a league? I was just going to set up a private league in the next day or two also. Now this?

We need to get some games in with each other....to get our 3 star rating to start leagues.

I'm guessing that's how you do it.

Anyone know for sure?

How so we even see what our current rating is? Or how to improve it? This is SO stupid.


Ok, well I just tried to create a league and now the message I'm getting is that you have to complete 10 games before you can be league commish.....WTF?!

Not happy.

man im glad im not an online league guy for this game. I like NCAA Football's system. I believe you can only run 1 league but be in others.

Im having the same issue! What the hell? I just want to run an online private league with a few friends and the rest of the teams being AI controlled. Why can I not do this? "You must be a 3 star rating"??? This is ridiculous. This is what I bought the game for.
